Coincidence?
Not a liberal terrorist. Rather a mentally ill individual who may or may not have been influenced by some of the right wing rhetoric we hear. From the shooter's YouTube ramblings (can't really call them videos) there is a high degree of paranoia, conspiracy leanings, questioning the legitimacy of our government, of our currency. The judge was sadly was collateral damage, as was the 9 year old child.

Local news just reported that a "suspicious package" has been found outside of Ms. Gifford's office. They obviously don't know what it is yet, but hopefully it turns out to be nothing. I guess many people left flowers, etc. there.

His youtube videos certainly did - but mostly they were just lunatic stuff.

But it doesn't. And you know it.

You're just using this tragedy for political gain, waving around a bloody shirt.

Decent people are horrified by this event. Vile people use it for gain.

"Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor" is pretty specific - so if you intend to censor - do you intend to censor only Conservatives or music groups also?

I'm pretty sure you never wanted anything done about Kilbourne's calling for assassins to get Bush - that was free speech of course.
same thing, they shouldn't get a microphone
